Files are labeled "Can only be used with express permission of S. Sitharama Iyengar, iyengar@www.csc.lsu.edu", which is clearly not a free license. Jay8g [V•T•E] 06:59, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom Appears to be for a vanity page loaded with puffery/non-encyclopedic. Buffs (talk) 16:32, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. ✗plicit 00:54, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The file is a group photo taken after 12 December 1979, depicting the core members of Hanahoe. On Commons we have plenty of images about ringleaders Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo, as well as free images for key members like Chung Ho-yong and Hwang Young-si. This shows that there are free equivalent images to illustrate Hanahoe's key members, WP:NFCC#1 is violated, and the file should therefore be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 10:44, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While we have photos of key leaders, a photo of the whole group is far preferred, IMNSHO. Buffs (talk) 17:52, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 14:29, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Simply being "preferrable" is not a valid argument — a fair use file can only be kept if there is no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose, as per NFCC#1. The free images, while they could contain less information, already covers the ringleaders and the organization's key members, and serves the same purpose of identifying the main members.廣九直通車 (talk) 14:03, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Not sure if this will satisfy NFCC#1 but the photo has something of a meaning in contemporary Korean history, and is considered one of the most symbolic images of the Hanahoe. I don't really have RS right now to back up that specific claim, but when you search '하나회' in naver you'll notice how prevalent that image is. (ex.

Fails NFCC 1, which specifies "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." Loafiewa (talk) 20:48, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
